Rohtas: This software engineer, who was employed at a private firm in New Delhi, quit his reputed job and switched to dairy farming.
A resident of Bihar's Rohtas, Keshav Srivastav returned to his native place after his father's death and that was when something stopped him from going back to Delhi. Instead, he decided to do something for his family, village and its people.
For this, Keshav then started dairy farming in his village. When asked about why specifically dairy, he said that milk was one of the major needs of any family. Therefore, milk supply would be the best idea to sustain, he said.
Even after receiving a backlash from his family and neighbours over the idea of starting a dairy business, Keshav's spirits didn't die and he went ahead with this venture.
Keshav now possesses more than three dozen cows. Other than dairy farming, he also does mushroom cultivation.
Keshav came up with the idea of providing good milk to the villagers when his family told him that people in the area hardly get good, healthy cow milk at an affordable price.
Keshav aspires to do more for the people in the future, especially in the health and food sector. He supplies milk after determining its quality on a lactometer.
Now, he not only supplies milk to his village, but also to far-off towns. Also, there are no extra charges implemented for supply in such areas.
At present, Keshav caters to more than 200 customers and has employed around 15 workers at his dairy.
